To me this looks like it's already been out-innovated by the USAF:

Range of 40nm, other glide bombs have longer range.

Part of me suspects there's plenty of those kinda kits out there. The appeal's pretty obvious - just pop the fucker onto any random dumb ordnance you've got laying about, and boom, instant smart bomb.

40 nanometers is a terrible range!
